You are graduating from college at the end of this semester and after reading the The Business of Life box in this chapter, you have decided to invest $6,000 at the end of each year into a Roth IRA for the next 48 years.

How much will you have if you wait 10 years before beginning to save and only make 38 payments into your retirement account?
